Nice write-up.
Don't forget to make fun of them, sticking a B sign on their useless rules :)

There are 100s of Bitcoiners bypassing these rules everyday. I wonder, everyone would give an eery smile to the board.

This:
I have always said this. Blend in!! I think some people get carried away when they see prominent bitcoiners wearing and flashing around BTC merch and they think "ooh that looks cool, I'll get/wear that". It's important to remember that many of those people promote and educate in the BTC space and they make a living from it, so it's in their interest. I don't, so I'm not interested in telling the whole world what I may or may not have.

Do not use memory for long term. Only to cross, and always have more backups somewhere.
Alternative cool way to memorize:

Also check out EasyWallet. I haven't tried it yet, but seems like a fantastic idea.
Basically, for a temporary border crossing situation where you don't want to have any evidence of a seed phrase, you set up a seed phrase with the 1 word from the BIP39 seed word list, repeated 12 times. For instance, "action action action action action action action action action action action action"
Then, using dice, you create another 7 word phrase. That will be the pass phrase. That's what you memorize - only 7 words, most people can memorize that easily.

Those are good.
Have you ever used a decoy cash wallet? That was a travel tip I picked up from either Jim Rogers or Doug Casey. Basically, have a wallet with expired credit cards and high denomination, but low value, foreign currency. That way, if you get robbed, you have something to hand over that won't actually lose you anything.

that's a good one too! but I don't keep much money on the bank cards. πβπ½ there was one time when someone riding a motorbike tried to rob me in Cambodia while I was walking, but he failed, crazy time!

Never rely just on your memory. Especially when you have a "generational amount" of sats.
One way I learned is to use an air-gapped environment to generate a small (say 8 MB) encrypted volume using VeraCrypt with a very strong but easy to remember password and store your seed in plain text there.
According to the attached chart such volume is really hard to get into and you can easily copy it over various pendrives or even store in the cloud (given it's secure and 2FA'd with a Yubi-Key), e.g. with a changed extension to mask it as an image or an archive.

another way to securely transport your Bitcoin across borders is to store them in a hardware wallet. Hardware wallets are physical devices that store your cryptocurrency keys offline, making them less vulnerable to hacking or theft.
